“…Bringing cognitive sciences and neuroimaging data into computational AI models have been presented as tempative approaches to get some insights into consciousness. In particular, Integrated information Theory (ITT) in relationship with AI and cognitive sciences may describe if an entity is in a conscious state or not (Guerrero [2023]). Let us see how BDTMC may be complementary to ITT.…”

The ancient Ouroboros symbolism (one who eats oneself) is here integrated into a simple birth–death clustering process that needed nothing but itself for a transition from indistinguishable phases to a sort of higher-level “conscious” phases. Birth and death coefficients are formulated in terms of odd and even exponentials used to represent a suitable form for conscious states via the internal transfer of information. This toy model may ideally quantify conscious states having inner causes via an Ouroboros index 0 < [Formula: see text] < 1. The value [Formula: see text] = 0 lends to infinite loops and the limiting values [Formula: see text] →1 disclose transformation into awareness. Relationships with physics theories of consciousness and the use of the Ouroboros index to discern about conscious-like states in Artificial Intelligence systems are discussed. Consciousness and freedom of will may go side-by-side in the model when [Formula: see text] is extended to be a complex number modulus.
